The executive director of equity, diversity, and inclusion at the University of Toronto will deliver a pair of anti-racism workshops for UWindsor instructors over the next couple of weeks.

Anti-racism educator Jodie Glean-Mitchell has dedicated her career to developing educational programming in the field of anti-racism, equity, and inclusion.

She will facilitate the following online workshops for the Anti-Black Racism Teaching and Learning Series:

• Deepening Your Practice in Antiracist Pedagogy: Transforming learning environments through Antiracism actions and inclusive teaching practices, Wednesday, Nov. 30, 1 to 3 p.m. This workshop will introduce the foundational principles of anti-racist pedagogy and examine common challenges and pitfalls that faculty members and teaching assistants experience in the learning environment, as well as tools to deepen one’s preparation and response to difficult moments as they arise. Participants will also learn pro-active strategies to integrate inclusive practices into teaching practice.

• Deepening Your Practice in Antiracist Pedagogy: Transforming learning environments through Intentional Course Design, Thursday, Dec. 8, 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. This workshop will examine anti-racist and decolonial approaches to course design and multifaceted factors to be taken into consideration in course and syllabus development across disciplines. It will also explore the interconnectedness between one’s anti-racist lens, inclusive teaching practice, and course design.

Register for either or both of these workshops.

The Anti-Black Racism Teaching and Learning Series is co-sponsored by the Centre for Teaching and Learning, Windsor University Faculty Association, and the Office of Human Rights, Equity, and Accessibility.
